On Wednesday last week, the contractor informed us that he'd pulled together the last of the materials order. He was able to find 3 X 10 OSB sheathing for the house about 88 miles away. He said we could borrow his trailer to go pay and pick up the goods. We have a trailer of our own so we thought we could use that. Well...we didn't make it 7 miles down the road with the load. The trailer's axle was too far forward for the load, even though the sheathing fit. The truck and the trailer were "porpoising" up and down...and the trailer was also swaying side to side. We called Mom and Pa to come rescue us with their bigger truck and our neighbor's larger trailer.



Here we are...stranded.



And this is Mom and Pa - heading home with our sheathing.

We learned from this experience...and the next day, I had the other half of the sheathing delivered. LOL
